I also tried a quick watercolor sketch of the green beans along with a red onion. Done with no sketching lines for guidance, I'm afraid the whole thing is a bit wonky -- still, I like the alizarin crimson and ultramarine with a bit of burnt sienna for the red onion . Greens continue to elude me.

That is one killer red onion! I love the colors, wow! The beans might need just a touch more difinition, and you're right, greens are not fun. What I do sometimes is toss in a little purple to get a really deep green value...have you tried it?
Oh I love this painting, the colour is fabulous.
Just perfect as is--so confident and strong. Your colors are great, I think. The pale green is a fantastic foil to the deep reds of the onion! For a broad range of greens, you could try mixing each of your blues with each of your yellows and seeing what you come up with. I find lovely, subtle and rich greens that way.
Congrats on a job so well done!

I think I love the names of colors as much as the colors themselves. You should draw your palette. Now that would be colorful.
OH YES. The onion is divine.
